What if a business owner simply wants to cash out or sell & has no
interest in reinvesting in his/her business?
Disaggregating the real estate from the business and selling it in a
separate process still may make sense: Split Sale.
Most financial buyers will not ascribe a “Market Value” to real estate
that tags along in a business sale. At most 1.0X to 2.0X additional
turns of EBITDA are given by the Financial Buyer.
Splitting the real estate and selling via a sale-leaseback transaction
to a 1031 Buyer or real estate investor may do a better job of
maximizing seller proceeds.
You are effectively pulling rent from EBITDA but selling it to a
different investor (a real estate investor) for a higher multiple.
